  2. I wish the western countries' politicians could watch this. He could see challenges facing these countries from a distance. It is only time when the elder generations vanish, and when no chance is given to the young productive generations, then do not wonder why some countries are stagnant and complaining of regression in economy. This speech I would recommend to any business which has influence on the government, especially the large ones if they want to boom their output with skilled workers.

  3. Or instead one could do the opposite and make it so that the younger population can procreate more so as to not need to take in more people that may or may not have different values than ours.
